The recommended 1966 exterior colors for a red interior.
Ebony Black
Provincial White
Burgundy Mist
Target Red

If it's two tone there are recommended combination colors too.

TCP color chip library.

Welcome to our site, hoping you have a full scaled Oldsmobile too.

You could have ordered any available exterior and interior color combination, but Olds had SUGGESTED combinations. Black, White, Target Red, Silver Mist would have been the likely suggested exterior colors to go with the red interior. Possibly Burgundy Mist also.

I got the info from the 1966 GM "Recommended Interior and Exterior Color Combinations" chart and those are the four colors they suggest.

I believe you. I've seen a silver 67 convertible with the red interior and silver pinstripes that looked really good.

Good luck in your search for the car and don't hesitate to drop in here any time. Let us know what you come up with on the '68.
